SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The Yucca Mountain Review Plan (YMRP) (July 2003, NUREG-1804, 
Revision 2) provides guidance for U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC) staff to evaluate a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) license 
application for a geologic repository. NRC has prepared Interim Staff 
Guidance (ISG) to update and supplement the guidance provided in the 
YMRP.
    NRC is soliciting public comments on Draft HLWRS-ISG-04 
``Preclosure Safety Analysis--Human Reliability Analysis'', which will 
be considered in the final version, or subsequent revisions, to HLWRS-
ISG-04.

II. Summary

    The purpose of this notice is to provide the public with an 
opportunity to review and comment on draft HLWRS-ISG-4, which is to 
supplement the YMRP, for the NRC staff review of human reliability 
analysis (HRA) contained in the DOE preclosure safety analysis. 
Specifically, this ISG identifies additional NRC guidance available to 
aid the HRA review and provides additional considerations in areas of 
the license application review that are potentially affected by HRA. 
This ISG revises Sections 2.1.1.2, 2.1.1.3, 2.1.1.4, 2.1.1.6, 2.1.1.7, 
2.5.5, and 2.5.6 of the YMRP.
